About Cyberpion
Cyberpion was co-founded by Nethanel Gelernter, the company’s CEO, CBO Ran Nahmias and Israeli cloud expert Ori Engelberg in 2017. Nethanel Gelernter was a security researcher at Microsoft and was the director of the enterprise strategy there and Ran Nahmias had also worked as the head of cloud security at Check Point.
Cyberpion’s online ecosystem security platform can be used to discover hidden assets in the ecosystem, secure the entire online ecosystem and automatically neutralise threats before attackers can misuse them.
Cyber attacks can take different forms. For example, public key (PKI) breaches, malicious code, DNS hijacking, taking advantage of bad and misconfigured cloud infrastructures etc. These attackers have an intent to take over the assets of different, connected organizations and steal data.
Nahmias pointed out that companies usually focus on protecting the ecosystem completely owned and managed by them. But the reality is that companies have many unknown assets and Cyberpion helps identify, secure these assets.
